Connect your wireless controller to play supported games from Apple Arcade or the App Store, navigate your Apple TV, and more.
Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. Connect your controller to a Windows PC by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some PCs also come with Xbox Wireless built in so you can connect a controller directly without an adapter. Mac best audio player.

Pair a controller with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac

Pairing mode steps, button controls, and button customization vary across game controllers. Check with your game controller manufacturer for details.
- When I boot my mac in boot camp, it immediately connects to the Xbox one, displaying the screen at default resolution of 1080p 60hz. Once I reboot back into mac mode, it stops working. In addition, in Mac mode the Xbox seems to randomly disconnect from the mac.
- Most laptops only support HDMI output, so if you are trying to use the laptop as a screen for your Xbox you are pretty much out of luck. However the Xbox One is unusual in that is has both HDMI out and HDMI in. So it is possible to connect the HDM.
